I don't know if anyone else got the notification or whatever, but I just noticed that there is a new release of the JOGL code which apparently fixes some bugs and handles some RFE bits. You can find them from the usual location where the shared files are located.

Actually I did post here (see "Ant build, display list sharing, Java Web Start" above). Feel free to suggest better places or more obvious ways to announce things. The new features (pretty minimal this time) are discussed in the other thread.

Which mailing list is everybody subscribed to? dev@games.dev.java.net? The last time I checked there were pretty few people signed up for the JOGL-specific ones so I haven't gotten in the habit of using those.

Please, no mailing lists. We have enough mailing lists in a spam hotmail inbox. Just use a sticky topic here to announce new issues, we dont have to archive mails but can easily read all infos here anytime we want.

It wouldn't do any harm to ALSO post to the mailing list. A dev or announce list would be useful for those who want to know about new releases but don't have time to poll the forums to find out about them.

There is definitely a place for the PUSH aspect of a mailing list.

BTW.. If java.net hosts the JNLP for the JOGL extension installer will Web Start automatically handle the upgrading of the extension for us? I wasn't sure if Web Start upgraded extensions the same as it does applications.

Yes it will. Currently due to a bug in the java.net web server Java Web Start is fooled every time into thinking that a new version of JOGL and the demos is present. In the future when this is fixed (or if we move the permanent location of the binaries to another location) you should be able to point to it and users will get automatically upgraded only when a new version of JOGL is posted.
